I tried a few distros, and I did get sound working using knoppix. (knoppix did load i810_audio). Know FC3 does not get along with my sound card. I thought the last desperate way to get sound working would be to somehow load i810_audio in FC3. However that is not available. Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thanks, Carlos Specs I could gather for the card are: Audio Controller SiS7012 AC97 Codec ALC655 Realtek AC97 Audio I I try alsamixer, I get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device A piece of /var/log/messages. It seems the sound card is sharing IRQ with the network card (though that also happens in windows, and the sound works there) note line with codec_not_ready, and line with INTEL_ICH, filed -5 Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: inserting floppy driver for 2.6.9-1.667smp Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 185 Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: r8169: NAPI enabled Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: eth0: RTL8169 at 0x4281a400, 00:40:f4:a9:d1:f1, IRQ 185 Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: Linux Tulip driver version 1.1.13 (May 11, 2002) Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:06.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 225 Nov 18 08:22:22 dhcppol116 kernel: tulip0: MII transceiver #1 config 1000 status 7849 advertising 01e1.
